Oberon Mercantile - Trade and Treachery
I made a board game! You can play it now in a virtual environment using the game "Tabletop Simulator", available on Steam.
I am very proud of this work, the result of 6 years of work and refinement.

I was recently asked to design a system to help an organic produce wholesaler keep track of their workflow. This was an opportunity to experiment with the Filament PHP library. more..
What's with the name?
In the mid 90's, a friend who worked in publishing sent me a book called The Cube: Keep the Secret .
It was a fun and, if you have a good memory and intuition, fantastic party game. The game starts with asking you to visualize a cube and I "saw" a
wooden cube, made of oak, sitting on the floor of the desert. 'Oak cube' does not sound as good as 'Oakbox', so I have been using 'Oakbox' ever since I registered the name in 1999.
